You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast, www.com.

If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,

while there's nothing you can't ask on the Savage Lovecast.

So last Friday, if you were online, if you were on Twitter or visiting any news blogs, you heard about this story, this post at Gawker.

Gawker did a long post about a particular brand of humanity that I hadn't ever

heard branded in this way, a C-suite executive at Conday Nast, who is a married man and a father

of three kids, married to a woman. We have to clarify those things these days. Married to a woman

who booked a gay male prostitute, escort,

uh, porn star and slightly deranged sounding conspiracy theorist, as it all shook out on Friday

afternoon, to join him in Chicago for a weekend and he's going to pay him $2,500 to come have

sex with him in Chicago.

So the porn star managed to figure out who the executive was, and it turned out he was

the brother of a former Obama administration official. And I'm not going to use any names because I don't

want to participate or help out this guy any further. But the porn star figured out who he was and

threatened to out the executive if the executive didn't use his political connections to the Obama

administration to assist

the porn star in a dispute with the porn star's former landlord. It's complicated. The executive,

and we know this because we all got to read all of their exchanges, the executive gently refused,

paid the porn star his full weekend, $2,500 fee, and canceled the booking.

And the porn star, who had been threatening to blackmail the executive to go public with

this information about him, if he didn't do what he was demanding, the porn star turned it all

over to Gawker.
